Take It Easy Lyrics

Well, I can see we got a load

Of prohibitions and codes

I got several different ones in mind

48 rabbonim, 33 batlonim

12 or more are friends of mine

Take it easy, Take it easy

Life isn't only black and white, so don't go crazy

Lighten up when making bans

We still can follow G-d's commands

Learn on our own what he demands, so take it easy

Well, I saw him the corner

This boy, he was a loner

Such a sad sight to see

Said, "the kids were mean, 'cause I wear blue jeans.

Now they say they can't be friends with me"

Won't raise my babies

Just on what they say

I'll teach my family right from wrong

Not just what pleases me

We could lose, if it's a sin

So we'll read it once and read again

Then ask a rav where to begin

He'll make it easy

I'm keeping kosher on my own

And making peace in the home

While the world is coming all undone

Looking everyday to enjoy what he created

Your view ain't the only one

So take it easy

Please believe me

I've made a good, strong Jewish life

With what he gave me

Come on, leave me

Can't you see

I'll serve my fellow man and G-d

That's why he made me

We all don't have it easy

We oughta take it easy
